So I was asking y'all a little while back which Isle of Dogs shampoo and conditioner I should get for Lady. Well after all my research I decided I really couldn't afford it as I have to bathe Lady fairly regularly because she sleeps in my bed. So I looked into their other 'Everyday' range (http://www.iodogs.com/c-79-everyday.aspx) and found the silky coating shampoo, conditioner and brush spray. There were some great reviews on Amazon from Cav owners so I decided to give them a try. And let me tell you, Lady is gorgeous! Her coat is so silky soft and she smells beautiful (like jasmine and vanilla, mmm). The brush spray does wonders and is great for a touch up if I want her smelling lovely again. Also, I recommend leaving the conditioner on for a full 2 minutes for a lovely, shiny result.

For those on a budget, I highly recommend. The shampoo and conditioner are 500ml each and less than the price of the 250ml bottles from the Coature range.

I dilute my IOD to make it last longer-- I believe it tells you to do that on the back of some of the bottles!

That's a good tip, but I couldn't afford it in the first instance, so this was a good alternative for me.

To make shampoo go further, squirt some into a jug and mix with warm water, then apply it with a baby sponge - it makes the shampoo froth up nicely and you need a lot less.

Be wary of bathing too often, this can dry out the skin and coat and may even cause skin issues. Really they only need bathing about every 3 months, unless they've rolled in something disgusting. IN between you can keep them clean by regular brushing and combing.

I used to recommend this but it is really hard to get hold of now :( and is no longer is on their website so I suspect it's been discontinued :mad:

they have some other products
